When they arrived at the Hanlin Academy, Zhang Liao, Liu Muzhi and Yu Qian were sitting together discussing something.
Seeing Zhao Xin coming in, the three of them hurriedly saluted Zhao Xin.
All the members of the Hanlin Academy do not need to kneel down when they see him, they just need to bow down and salute.
"So, what are you discussing?"
Liu Muzhi replied, "Your Majesty, we are discussing the matter of recruiting guests."
"Although the Hanlin Academy is not short of staff, there are very few talented people."
“It’s not enough to just have people doing the work.”
"So we are discussing the matter of recruiting guests."
"Okay, what do you think now?" Zhao Xin asked.
“Current ideas can be divided into four categories.”
"First, civil officials, second, military commanders, third, business talents, and fourth, all kinds of talents."
"Your Majesty, although Prime Minister Zhuge has rectified the taxation in all regions, we are not short of money and grain."
"But how can there ever be enough money? So, I think we can start some government-run businesses."
"Take coal, for example. Allowing private enterprises to operate this business isn't necessarily a good idea."
"This kind of highly profitable thing should still be controlled by the imperial court."
"In short, although Prime Minister Zhuge is very capable, the Hanlin Academy should also be able to help govern the Qin Dynasty."
"Besides, we need manpower to develop Jiangnan now."
"Therefore, the three of us are still planning to recruit talents."
"But if I think about it, the effect shouldn't be too bad. Even people from aristocratic families will come to the Hanlin Academy."
Zhao Xin was surprised, "Everyone from the aristocratic families will come?"
"Yes, the court is now accepting people from aristocratic families again."
"The Prime Minister said that there are actually many talented people in aristocratic families."
"Your Majesty, it would be best not to use high-pressure policies to forcibly destroy it, as this will result in the loss of a large number of talents."
Zhao Xin said: "That's for sure. Your previous method was indeed too violent."
"I think so too, but things are different now."
"Initially, the noble families were unwilling to cooperate with the court. They said Your Majesty was a tyrant, licentious and immoral, and they were unwilling to serve Your Majesty."
"That's why I said we should use high-pressure policies. They wouldn't help the court anyway, but things are different now."
"Now, the aristocratic families are willing to cooperate with the court because they have always been paying attention to current affairs."
"The entire Great Qin is now developing in a positive direction. They are building up their army and improving their system. The scholars from the noble families are also willing to cooperate with the court. So, of course, we cannot use violence now."
"Okay, your idea is fine, then you should handle it well and study the issue of recruiting talents carefully."
"However much gold, silver, and food supplies you need, I will support you."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Muzhi replied.
After leaving the Hanlin Academy, all that was left was to wait. Now that he had more ministers under him, he didn't have to worry too much about many things.
After all, the two ministers drawn recently are both very reassuring ministers.
Needless to say, which emperor would not want to have such a talented person as Zhuge Liang under his command?
With such a minister, you basically have half of the world.
Zhang Liao is also a general who can stand on his own. He is not only a military general, but also a very smart one.
Moreover, they can manage their own territory. With these three people in the Hanlin Academy, it will naturally develop quickly.
Zhao Xin rested for fifteen days, and after fifteen days, he could draw a card again.
The reason for triggering the system reward is that Zhuge Liang is making the court prosperous and the entire Qin Dynasty is developing in a good direction. After all, according to the original plot, the Qin Dynasty was actually about to end at this time.
But now it is moving in a good direction.
But this time the reward is a random reward.
It's a book, and I can't understand the words on it at all.
Although he was only given a book, Zhao Xin felt that he was about to take off again.
Although I can't understand it, Zhuge Liang should be able to understand it. Maybe Zhuge Liang can learn more knowledge from this book.
So Zhao Xin took the book to find Zhuge Liang, who should be able to understand some of it.
Zhuge Liang took the book, but after only a few minutes of reading, his expression changed. He raised his head and said to Zhao Xin, "Your Majesty, may I have this book?"
"Of course, it's specially for you."
"But Prime Minister, you look very surprised. Is the content here very powerful?"
Zhuge Liang regained his composure, nodded, and said, "Your Majesty, this may be difficult to explain to you in detail."
"But I can give you an analogy so that Your Majesty can understand."
"For example, my current talent and knowledge is equivalent to the territory of the Great Qin. Then the knowledge in this book is about four times that of an entire continent."
"That is to say, it is the knowledge of more than ten Daqin."
After hearing this, Zhao Xin was not surprised. This was of course natural. Could the things given by the system be ordinary items?
"Then, after Prime Minister has learned all this knowledge, can you use it to govern the country?"
"Yes, the knowledge in this book is indeed world-shattering."
"During this period, I will set aside two hours every day to study this book."
"Okay, that's good." Zhao Xin replied.
Zhao Xin didn't care much about the two hours left. Even if Zhuge Liang had two hours less to handle government affairs, it would not affect his work efficiency and the government affairs he had to deal with every day.
"By the way, Prime Minister, how are you handling the issue of the reserve troops?"
"Your Majesty, the 500,000 refugees have been divided into ten camps, each with 50,000 people. Ultimately, these 500,000 people will leave behind 300,000 troops."
"The 200,000 refugees who were eliminated will still be given generous money and food, and will not be treated unfairly."
"Moreover, during the training period, all food, clothing, housing and transportation necessities will be provided by the court. In addition, there will be military pay, food and supplies."
"Okay, then Prime Minister, you can make your own plans."
“I just hope this army can be established as soon as possible.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
What Zhuge Liang said was correct. The tax revenue of the Qin Dynasty was an astronomical figure. The taxes from all over the country added up to just two tax payments, and the Qin Dynasty had enough money, food and supplies to feed 500,000 refugees.
It is all because of Zhuge Liang that this group of refugees can now start training immediately. With the money and food they had at the time, if they want to train new recruits, it is possible temporarily, but in the long run, there may be problems with money, food and supplies.
Now with Zhuge Liang around, the 500,000 refugees have officially started training, and Zhang Liao has also gone there. Zhang Liao leads 50,000 troops, and he is the commander of those 50,000 people.
But as for money and grain, they were distributed to them using the tax revenue.
The Hanlin Academy finally had another military general who was both civil and military, but he was transferred away again.
